[K12OSN] Super fast repeating keys on keyboard.

[Petre Scheie]

If the problem follows the cable, seems like the cable is the problem, so replace the 
cable.  If the problem is still there, don't use that port on the switch (and plan for 
replacing the switch in case any of the other ports get wonky).  Doesn't sound to me 
like it has anything to do with the server.
